Kenya: Crocodiles pushed towards homes by rising lakes

France 24 [en] · sub saharan africa

Lakes in Kenya's Rift Valley have risen to levels not seen in at least half a century, pushing the reptiles towards human homes. Officers are tasked with trapping the animals and relocating them — an operation as tricky as it is dangerous.
